Our company standard for removing text from schedules or sheet notes is to strike-through the text in red and then cloud around it. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make lines display in front of text. Selecting the lines and clicking Bring to Front does nothing and I can't find anywhere to change the "draw order" of elements in Revit.

 

If anybody has any ideas, even a band-aid fix at this point, I would appreciate it. Screenshot below.

 

 

The schedule, lines and clouds are all placed on a sheet. There's no drafting views involved here or anything like that.

Edit: I see what you mean now.  Then don't use line, create a red text type and place -------------- above the schedule.

Use a transparent text type for schedules.

Hi @BL_Apex! I don't know what to do with revision cloud, but for lines... You can use generic annotation! I add family below.

I appreciate the answers, guys. Nice to get a response from the God-Emperor Toan. The text idea is a quick fix! It looks goofy with hyphens but I tried it with underscores and it worked well.

 

I think Pavel's Generic Annotation idea is what will work the best overall considering the sheer number of these lines we have to put in our drawings although I'll have to try and get a stretch handle on there for easier manipulation.

 

Thanks again!
